There are two realities that PoC (people of color) must realize and begin to take action.
1) A white police force does not understand PoC. Their perception of PoC is through the media, and often time media says all black people are violent, Mexicans are druggies/rule-breaker, and Asians can't be trusted. Since these white police force never gets to spend enough time with the members of their community they serve, they fear their community versus loving their community. A fear-based individual will do really ugly things and stand behind the badge to get away with a mistake.
2) The police training is shoot first, ask questions later because a dead person cannot defend him/herself. Police training teaches the police force to fear their community members, and so again, fear drives their action. A police officer may see a member of their community as an enemy especially if it is a PoC.
What is the solution?
1) The training needs to change to reflect a more compassionate police force.
2) The police force needs to represent their community so that the community member don't fear the police, and the police don't fear the community member.
It is only through dialogue, exposure to each other, etc... that we can begin this healing process to where we (PoC) see our police officer as excellent member of society versus someone we cannot trust. It begins with the authority to want to change, but that will take a decade and the members willing to serve, teach, and become the police force.
I have family member who serve the force and they literally say, duck that, I rather shot first ask questions later because that's the safest thing for me. It breaks my heart to hear that, and I asked them why they serve...it pays good and why not, and I am serving. Fawking sad...we need servant leaders who want to become excellent leader of our community.
